Done.

But for question #5, I would have preferred an option of "depends",or "maybe". I would not attend for the sake of attending. If the overall atmosphere remained, maybe. Also, the sounds need to be there, but if I knew they were fake, I may not get as drawn in. Hard to say really.

For me, a large part of the desire to attend also comes from the wafts of smells that come over from trackside (smells like hard worked tyres, brakes, cluthces, and not forgetting the smell of unleaded in the air). Not sure I would attend if it smelt like a burnt out scalextric car.

I have just filled this in for you.

In answer to question 3, I don’t think there NEEDS to be a change in how the vehicles are powered, however alternatives are coming to the market as technology progresses and this technology needs to be embraced to keep the sport fresh and in keeping with modern times. As long as alternatives can be brought in without losing the spectacle then bring it on! The LMP1 Toyota TS030 Hybrid strikes me as great example of using modern technology without losing the spectacle, as it uses electric motors yet still uses a petrol powered engine which makes plenty of noise which is exactly what the fans want.

It might be worth posting this in the General Motorsport forum as a higher percentage of the people in that forum will attend events and have a greater interest and knowledge of the subject.
